DITAJA
This Centennial grad chose to enlist in the military to gain discipline, direction and to see the world. He got much more than he bargained for after September 11th tested the defensive infrastructure of our nation. Thousands of men and women were sent overseas to fight in a war no one was anticipating or prepared for.
Listen as this United States Army Veteran talks about going from working at Bagelmen’s one day to being deployed to the Middle East the next, saying goodbye to his dad, his friends and all of his possessions except for a backpack. From training in the Wisconsin winters to 130-degree desert, Brian and his fellow soldiers were initially tasked with setting up a military base before a lot of the proper equipment was even in place—like bathrooms and showers. As the opposition became more organized and unpredictable, his company would escort supply vehicles on day long treks up and down dusty, sandy, treacherous roads. Saddam Hussein was captured during his stint, but this US victory was only the beginning of the battle where so many soldiers didn’t get to come home.
